Panasonic TX-P46G10

Panasonic wisely chose not to describe its new motion control system as ‘frame dectupling’, possibly because it doesn’t really mean anything but probably because even saying ‘600Hz sub-frame drive’ is quite a mouthful. And you’ll need that mouth to drop your jaw when you see just what Panny’s NeoPDP panel is capable of: midnight black contrast, cheetah-fast action smoothing, over 6000 steps of colour gradation and a 0.001 millisecond response time. The P46G10 has been to fat camp, too, shedding plasma’s traditional excess pounds to weigh in at a svelte 29kg and 11mm thickness. It’s also eco-friendly, thanks extended its display lifetime to over 100,000 hours and halving its power consumption, all while delivering the same brightness as previous models.
